As long as he didn’t have that child aborted....well, also, as long as they have no information on trump paying for any in between abortions.

of the highest order in every way, and I'm sick of them getting a political pass. AND THEY DON'T PAY TAXES!!! They are churches who are not supposed to be acting politically -- separation of church and state!!! They might SAY they aren't acting politically as churches, only as individuals, but that is a lie and everyone knows it.

of the separation of church and state. To insure they understand this, tax the church if it gets political
from the pulpit, the 700 club is one of the big abjurers. An advertising blitz would have to be worded
carefully to convince people of the importance of a principal like separation of church and state. But
the right will be screaming freedom and fascism.

At a higher rate than many others. Life only begins at ejaculation when the evangelical man doesn’t want it terminated.

I am sure that the President saw the error of his ways and, on bent knee, admitted his sins and begged for forgiveness. That forgiveness has certainly been granted by the Trump cult, whether is has been granted by his maker is another story.

If it was a Democrat, there would be cries to pillory the villain. To Republicans, double standards are standard.

He has been recorded (or quoted) in an interview saying he doesn’t have anything in his life he needs to ask God forgiveness for. Going against the CENTRAL FRIGGIN’ PRINCIPAL of Christianity (=we are all sinners who need forgiveness etc. etc.).

They’re all a bunch of lying hypocrites.

I don't get it either............it has really opened my eyes about the republican party and all conservatives. They only use 'the family values' term when it serves their purpose - not many actually really live 'family values' in their real personal life. Kind of like some of the so called conservative Christian evangelists. So...........beware of someone boasting of their 'familly values'!!!

If you read through a lot of the agenda of “Christian evangelical” movement, it’s largely about being “anti” this or that. It has very little to do with actually being religious, but rather attacking certain groups.

Everything tRump did is forgivable, in their eyes, so long as they believe they can move closer to getting rid of a woman's right to chose.

Rs have no values or morals aside from self interest, and are often too belligerently ignorant even to serve that.
